In a city that prides itself on being roughly one-third parkland, one-third water, and one-third city streets, it would be a shame not to experience a bit of each. Medieval ruins and verdant parks share space with museums, important cultural institutions, and world-class eateries. Stockholm is one of the most museum-dense cities in the world—there are over 100 museums in the city alone.

If time allows, set aside a day to explore the glorious archipelago.
